Summary
Bromo-DragonFLY (also known as DOB-DragonFLY or simply B-DFLY or Dragonfly) is a novel psychedelic substance of the amphetamine and benzodifuran classes. It produces an array of extremely dose-sensitive psychedelic effects when administered. It was first synthesized in 1998 by Matthew Parker from DOB-FLY.

Effects
Aggregated from 31 single-substance Erowid experience reports; 14 Erowid reports where another drug was taken too are left out
Each bar shows the share of analyzed reports whose text mentions that effect — a mention is not always a first-hand experience (fear of an effect or something witnessed can count). Mentions saying the effect did not happen are left out; that check reads keywords, so it can miss some. The shaded band on a bar, and the small range after its number, is the 95% interval: where the share could plausibly be with other reports of the same kind. Fewer reports, wider band. Tap or hover any number for details. The second value is the Bluelight extractor's per-effect confidence; a dash means the row is Erowid-derived, which has no confidence measurement.

Also reported in combinations. In the 14 Bromo-DragonFLY reports where another drug was taken too, 3 mention hospital, emergency services or an overdose, 1 a seizure and 1 psychosis (too few reports for percentages). In the 31 single-substance reports: 19.4%, 0.0% and 9.7%. These are not in the figures above: they cannot be put down to Bromo-DragonFLY alone, and a mention is not always something that happened to the writer.

[Erowid Note: Some blotter sold and thought to be Bromo-Dragonfly has been shown to actually contain DOB.

Recently on various online forums for drug discussion and harm reduction there was a good deal of coverage regarding the notorious batch of what proved to be 95% pure Bromo-Dragonfly sold as 2c-b-FLY, leading to the death of a RC purveyor and several hospitalizations.
Summary: So far I have taken Bromo-dragonfly 3 times at increasing doses. The difference in effects between 600 micrograms and 1200 micrograms were pretty negligible, the effects were slightly more noticeable I suppose at the higher dose.
Subject: A healthy Finnish male, 30 years, 75kg ... also know as eVitamite / eVitamiini in the drug forums. Ten years of very moderate drug use behind, with breaks from drugs as long as 1.5 years. I could say I'm very experienced with all the usual drugs but I have never abused any substance.

[Erowid Note: This report relates to the material described in Information on Reported Deaths Related to 2C-B-Fly .] Sex: Male Age: 23 General health: Good. No major problems or past conditions. Past drug use: Daily pot smoker. Use tobacco in spliffs with hash/marijuana. Now occasional, formerly heavy, drinker.
First of all sorry for my bad english Trip Details : Onset begin : 5h00 after ingestion Total trip duration : Approx 48 to 52 hours. This story takes place one day on Sunday (September). It was boring that day, so I decided to have fun with three friends of mine... (I would call A, B, C).

Usual Disclaimer: This was by no means safe. I tried to take risks manageably, but I don't recommend this kind of stuff. tl;dr: Really fun. Also long lasting as hell, very visual, not much body load or mindfuck at 1mg level.
Suggest this is posted in trip reports Comments? Is this good enough? Should I also submit this to erowid? I will read comments posted.

Bromo-Dragonfly, first time, 250 ฮผg sublingual - A gently brominated sunset Male, late 20s, medium build, previous drug experiences... well, a fair amount, the usual classics plus a handful of the more exotic tryptamines and phenethylamines.
Bromo-Dragonfly Trials I recently acquired 3 ampoules filled with 2ml of 40% ethanol solution and 1mg of Bromo-Dragonfly via mail. I consider myself an experienced user and abuser of psychedelics.
Bromo-Dragonfly(?): A Mild First Time Experience A little background... I'm about 5'11, 130 lbs (very lean), and have had multiple experiences with mushrooms, salvia, Ecstasy, and most of all pot.
Since the recent 2C-B-FLY/Bromo-DragonFLY (BDF) mixup, I've found myself with 500mg of BDF. More than enough for most of a lifetime I figure. I have already done 250mcg, 380mcg, and neither was quite powerful enough for me. I decided to up the ante a bit. I opted for a dose of 600mcg.
Recollection of my one and only Bromo Dragonfly experience. This was about 5 years ago with a good friend who has since passed away. The trip report was lost after his passing. The description of events below is from my own (faulty) memory. Y: Male, ~75Kg, 21 years old. I: Male, ~85Kg, 25 years old.
